To console himself: Relatively large part, what I not accounted for as negative because the components inside thus have more space and the history of the overheating of the Xbox 360 can not be repeated. Everything runs very smoothly, both via controller, gesture, or voice control.
For me it was crucial before buying that I get a console that is not fixed on one thing, but many things can and everything good about it. With the Xbox, I was not disappointed. You can let two things easily and completely liquid running side by side, the short pause an application to search for example something in the Internet Explorer (which by the way is incredibly fast) and switches back again, making the console without ifs or buts. The games can be, for me as Konsolero, only to say that this really HAMMER look. I have before the start of the Xbox lot of discussion about Full HD, 60 Hz, 30 Hz, hochgerendert, tracked .... and I was not at all certain what to make of it all eventually. I must say, although I have not yet alluded to the PS4, the graphics are stunning and you, if you are not a pixel fanatics, it does not realize that, for example, Battlefield is only hochgerendert.
For me personally, this discussion is stamped retrospectively as completely unnecessary as good graphics remains good graphics, if three - four more pixels in the calculation, or not.
For Kinect: Works wonderfully. From my estimated 350 orders so far, that I wanted to run Kinect, has these recognized and implemented about 335. In part, the Kinect responds differently than expected, but really is just that you do not even do not know certain commands ("record Xbox" - instead of "Xbox record"), what has been, however, very quickly out.
But not only the voice control works fine, but the gesture control. Every time, even if it's just such a simple thing as to scroll through Dashbord I am again amazed at how smooth and good gesture control works. The application works perfectly on Kinect. If I place the Xbox and me not located in front of her, she does not report to me as soon as I set it before me, I welcomed. When then is still a buddy next to me, who had to be, of course, once logged in, you will recognize this and also announces him as 2nd users.
In summary:
+ Kinectsteuerung works fine
+ Control and performance are all liquid
+ Superfast Internet Explorer
+ Quick familiarization
+ Clear Dashbord
+ Well dissolved indicator alerts
+ Perfect controller (super feeling eg in Forza during understeer, spin, drift)
+ Good workmanship
(+ Fast and friendly support of MS)
-partially long waits (installation, game)
-Kinect Not always intuitive (introduction with commands would not be bad)
have-unfortunately no way parallel to a Xbox Music app / run a game docked without Xbox Music
Neurtal: size - has advantages and disadvantages ... in my box disappears anyway in the closet
Strong buy recommendation for the undecided. The holding announced by MS Multimedia Console delivers what it promises: it is built primarily for gaming, but this run, as well as all other liquid on this console. I've been buying so far not regretted second (even with an additional cost of 100 to PS4). Problems can always get 1 console with the purchase of a generation, so there is this rather more praise from me to MS, because the support was really quick and helpful and the exchange went smoothly. To all who have problems with their Xbox / have: Clearly, it is going to have annoying waiting for months on the console, just to be able to exchange directly again, but this will never change, because companies do not test before publication in large format and many problems can arise just by mass production. But I think for my part that the Microsoft well counteracts with quick exchange, now also free games as compensation. Fair acts of MS. Evaluate a console equally bad, just because you caught a defective I find no good, because you do not evaluate the console, but his own bad luck. Quick replacement and a top free game but should be reason enough to refer to the vote on the general console and not defective on its own.
